Agreed. I believe we will force the government to quarantine us because clearly we are not disciplined enough to handle this on the individual level.

yes. but as you subsequently alluded to, this is a function of the liberal politics of my New York biglaw firm. people believe what scientists and economists recommend is worth heeding. people are prone to believe in collective risks and collective responsibility.

Basically, we are not Texans.

Lolol there are literally thousands of people hanging out on the Embarcadero in SF rollerblading and touching the railings even under a city shutdown. Please don’t act like liberal millennials are handling this better 🙄 It is selfish people versus unselfish people, politics has nothing to do with it.

The governor hasn’t let most state workers work from home so they are showing up to buildings with thousands of others in Sacramento...

In Texas, absolutely not. People are going to the parks in groups and just doing exactly what they’d normally do. It’s unclear if it stems from defiance or stupidity.

Quick question - are online coding schools worth it? I’m thinking of a career change and I’ve thought about a coding Boot Camp but saw an online full stack developer course by mammoth interactive.

I just made a switch from a boutique litigation firm to a mid-sized corporate transactions practice.

I love the work, and want to keep doing this, but need to start delivering better work product faster, I just don’t know what I don’t know.
